Why didn't shizuka arakawa, but Mao Asada, drive the popularity of Hua Hua in Japan?

Judging from the achievements of his whole career, although Mao Asada did not win an Olympic gold medal, his overall performance was better than Arakawa's. I have summed up the reasons for Asada's high popularity and attention, and there are probably three points: the first point is that debut is the peak. When she was in the youth group, she won almost all the international youth group competitions. In 25, it was still in the transition from the youth group to the adult group. As soon as it debuted, it swept the champion and runner-up of the international grand prix of the adult group and won the championship in the grand prix finals. At that time, the influence on the flower skating world was no less than that of today's Russian women's singles. When she was 16, she ranked first in the world.

the second point is to maintain the world-class level all the year round. Japan is a slippery country. Asada's career began in 25 and ended in 217. During these 12 years, she won the national championship in Japan for six consecutive years and never fell out of the top three. It is no exaggeration to say that she is an evergreen tree in the Japanese flower skating world. Internationally, she has been ranked in the top 1 in the world, winning three world championships, grand prix races and grand slam finals, ranking first in the world for three consecutive years. Because of Asada's brilliant record, many children in Japan began to learn skating because of Asada's inspiration. It can be said that she not only promoted the development of Japanese flower slip, but also expanded its worldwide popularity.

the third point is to promote the development of the difficulty of women's singles in flower skating. During her active service, she is the only female athlete who can finish this difficult jump many times. The difficulty of this jump was at the average level of male athletes at that time. Mao Asada is not the first female athlete to jump out of 3A, but the quantity and quality of her 3A are unprecedented. She is the first female athlete to complete 3A jump in a youth competition, and also the first female athlete to complete 3A jump three times in an Olympic Games. Since Asada, the average difficulty level of women's singles in world flower skating has started to improve, and more and more women players have started to practice 3-year jumping, and even four-week jumping has begun to appear on the field.

Asada's achievements are rare in the world, not to mention in Japan. In addition, Asada is a talented girl, and Arakawa is recognized as a late bloomer, with a long low tide, and only after 24 did she come out slowly.
